Christmas is upon us, lol! Phew, doesn't time fly by? Christmas is here already! Doesn't seem like five minutes has passed since last christmas , seems like yesterday in fact, lol! My are all growing up, christmas seems like a lifetime away to them, but not to me, not when I'm an oldie, lol! 2009 has really been a life changing year for us all, my family that is! Was pregnant for first half of the year. We flew long haul for the first time ever, two week holiday to Florida, can't afford to do that very often, lol! Got married in February, had building work on our house - which seemed to take forever, considering it was supposed to be a four to six week job, took four months inf act, that's builders for you I suppose! And of course my fourth was born ( fourth and last I can tell you). Well I was pretty much prepared this year, in the way of christmas presents. Ordered them all online - would not put myself through the torture of going out to the shops this time of year, especially with an unsettled baby in her pram - and had them all stored away in the loft by the end of November! Now I have the time consuming job of wrapping them all! It's ok, wrapping, well I love wrapping in all the christmas paper - gone for a gold theme this year. But just lately I'm lucky if I find time to do the dishes, let alone extra curricular past times, lol! That's because I have a four month old baby, soon to be five months old (doesn't seem that long ago when I first found out I was pregnant!). She's a feisty little lady - can't think where she gets it from? She tends to stay awake most of the time, only ever sleeping from 3am in the morning. Yes that means my hubby and I are kept up all night trying to entertain her, or desperately trying to get her to settle. Have been surviving on three to five hours sleep a night since she was born. Don't know how we do it, but God I have aged about 10 years in the past four months, and you can see it in my worn out face, lol! We have resorted to leaving her to cry in her cot now for anything up to 20 minutes at a time, and boy does she have a loud cry. It's not nice having to leave her to settle herself to sleep like that, but we have been left with no other option. Still I'm just looking forward to when she becomes an active little . Can't wait to chase her round the house! Wont be long now. My nine year old keeps asking , "When's Melie (Amelia) going to walk Mum?" Well back to talk of Christmas! My has her christmas disco tonight at the primary school! She has been looking forward tot hat for weeks now. Oh she does make a fuss over choosing an outfit for the annual occasion! She did look lovely yesterday when she tried on her new outfit - she chose it all herself, I don't have much of a say in what my likes to wear, lol! She's gone for all red, lovely red patent little ballerina style shoes ( yes she did drag daddy round the shops yesterday to buy a pair - but I'm sure he loves it really!), red skinny jeans (yes all her jeans must be SKINNY now, she refuses to wear her boot leg ones any more), and a little red top which she'd had in her wardrobe for some time, but never got round to wearing it, until now she has managed to team it with some red numbers! I could go on chatting forever on here, but I'd better not as Melie, will wake up then I'll running round like a headless chicken, dashing to prepare her a bottle![image] |
